Examining the relationship of active transport habits with physical activity levels in a diverse sample of college students

by Jacqueline Netro Beltran

It has been found that people who partake in active transport (AT) to their destinations have a lower bmi than those who do not. Purpose of the study was to examine AT trips by race/ethnicity among college students who did meet physical activity (PA) recommendations. Participants were asked demographic questions and self-reported their PA. Anova examined differences in AT trips by race/ethnicity. These findings can help to identify the gaps in AT and alleviate them.
